Natural selection --- @ginger@guillaume I totally agree that we the users create the industry behemoths by buying/selling their goods/services - Facebook has billions of customers, not because it stood there with a huge stick forcing persons to put their entire daily lives on the Net but we choose to do so; the same with WhatsApp; consequently, startups have a hard if not impossible challenge to compete or even attempt to break-even; I may use a telecom industry analogy where telecom regulations were put in place to facilitate easier entry by new entrants into the market by lowering entry barriers, monitor ant-trust or anti-competitive behavior by dominant players and seek to make it easier for startup to flourish also.
